Scan2Docx is an easy-to-use scan and storage application that has been designed to digitize photographs and documents. The scanned images can be saved, printed and exported to a PDF, MSWord or Office Open XML file.
On starting the application, Scan2Docx tries to open the first available video capture device. In the case that no video capture devices are installed on the PC, the device setting dialog opens, so that you can manually select a device.
Using the left buttons of the toolbar, you can change the view and image settings before scanning. This is illustrated in the following screenshot:
Scan2Docx allows you to select a specific region of interest (ROI). By clicking and dragging the handles in the corners of the image, you can select the part of the image in which you are interested. You can move the entire selected region by clicking and dragging the handle in the center of the image. To select the entire image again, simply double-click on the handle in the middle.
The region of interest will be cropped from the scanned image.
To start scanning a document, click on the scan button in the
toolbar. Once a page has been scanned, it is displayed in the list on the left of the page.
To see a preview of the scanned images, click on an image in the image list.
Scan2Docx supports a comprehensive OCR software with superior recognition accuracy. All the OCR features can be used from the menu bar at the OCR menu.
All recognized documents are automatically inserted in the image list at the left and can be handled just like scanned images. In order to re-create the document's logical structure and formatting, PDF must be selected as output format.
